Each of the centerpieces were a different children's book theme. The gifts were small boxes that looked like books. Inside was a half moon bookmark. (Little books had a poem from Hey Diddle Diddle nursery rhyme). I loved the whole book thing. My sister worded the invitations asking guest to write a message in a book for LO instead of giving a card with the gift. Now i have a great collection of books that are displayed in DS's nursery. Loved everything about it.
